Diabetes is ravaging the United States in epidemic proportions. If you're one of the over 20 million Americans with diabetes, it is important that you get this condition under control, for it is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, and amputation.
Exercise can substantially reduce your need for diabetes medication. In fact, exercise not only lowers your blood sugar levels but also increases your body's overall sensitivity to insulin. Furthermore, weight loss, which is so important in diabetes, is virtually impossible without regular exercise.
Type II diabetics who are overweight can often completely reverse their condition simply by losing weight by following a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Diet is particularly important in managing diabetes, and it is a key component of your diabetic treatment program. Even Mayo Clinic says you must control your blood sugar levels!
